"It was my grandmother’s dream that all of her grandchildren visit Israel," said Daniel Yoffee...
Yoffee, a native of Orangeburg, N.Y. is inviting Jewish organizations from Bergen and Rockland County as well as the community to come to the Stable Gallery and enjoy his journey to Israel.
His interest in photography began as a young teenager capturing Kodak moments with family, friends and pets. He says he was fascinated with a device that created a permanent image that could be shared and appreciated over and over.
"My passion is to share my way of viewing a scene that others may not see."
He took photography classes in high school, college, continuing education and at the International School of Photography, Edward Hopper House, Santa Fe workshops and attended the National Geographic Travel Photography Seminars.During the past year Yoffee’s work has been shown in group shows in White Plains, Teaneck, West Nyack, Manhattan and Tenafly.
He has had solo exhibits at the Pearl River Library and Park Ridge Library.
Yoffee has traveled widely to Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, across the United States and also on a Mediterranean cruise, always taking photographs.
